I live my days in a whisper
Neither overbearing
nor painful
After a while
the status quo nothingness
nags on my mind
Sensual pleasures seduce
to thwart all my progress
I made without them
but I give in
The familiar guilt and the
progress becomes unfamiliar
In the process of thinking
I forget to contemplate
I remember all the things I couldn’t do
to disremember parts of me
I couldn’t face
I feel nothing and just then it strikes me
I am everything
as a door of white light opens
Awakened at last
I see the colours in the white
My focus switches from the red
to the source of its hue
The river becomes clearer
The sky moves slower
I witness the spectacle
I thought I had lost all hope for
as it erases the I in me
The rise of the absolute
Wonderful piece that is captivating 😊😊https://esmileycom.wordpress.com/2021/02/15/love-is-love-celebrating-love-in-tribute-to-michael-jacksonrip-lisa-marie-presley/

Beautiful piece! 🥰 I love the line ‘I see the colours in the white’ most of all. There’s a symbolism there that just floors me.
Thank you Lora. Glad you liked the poem. Hope you come back for more 🙂

This is just wonderful! I love how all the confusion, guilt and melancholy culminated into the last stanza, full of hope and light💛
Thank you Ishita. I’m glad it came across to you so well! 🙂
Rahul, I think this is one of your best poems. It’s been a while since I’ve written a poem; but I have a new one up on my website. The poem is called “Planet in Red”. I’d like to know what you think of it.
Thank you Copeland. Checking it out right away!
This absolutely describes the awakening most people encounter after a period of hardship where they feel lost and depressed. I had a similar experience. Trust in the universe within you for guidance and support for it will not disappoint.
I’m glad it resonated with you and you’re right on with the last line!
